This was our very FIRST experience with any rehab center, and I hope they are not all like this one! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a very rude receptionist. Once my brother was given a cup to pee in, I was told I could stay but had to go outside. I had NO CLUE what the steps were and how long I would be outside, or if I would be able to see him again. Also, I was supposed to just leave all of his things on a wall unprotected from anyone to go through or take it, and not able to my brother I had to go outside. I waited quietly anyway. The staff took my brother and his things to search them, and who knows what else. I waited outside, and my brother came out and told me he was good to stay but had to wait for someone to come get him, but I could leave. Mind you, he was intoxicated and probably misunderstood a few things, but I was not allowed back with them even with permission from my brother. We said our goodbyes and a man come out calling my brothers name. Then says is that your ride...theyll need to stay RUDE AF. I asked the staff guy a few questions, and he rolled his eyes at me. I had ZERO clue what the process was, and no one wanted to tell me because I was not my brothers legal guardian. They both went inside and after about 10 minutes my brother comes out mad that they are denying care because he hurt his shoulder 2weeks prior, had seen a doctor and it was nothing, just needed healing time. Then come to find out all of my brothers belongings are not in his bags. Of all things missing are his LIFE SAVING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION!We got them back, but how unorganized and horrible the way they do things. Why go through their things AT ALL if they have not been approved to stay. They need to be better, this was a HUGE setback for my brother as this was not pleasant for him and the 2 hour drive we made to get there. Also the bathroom was disgustingly dirty!
I’m deeply concerned about the conditions and management at Sacred Heart. The facility is extremely inconsistent with its rules, and it feels like the clients are the ones actually running the program, not the staff. The place is overrun with bed bugs, and the overall cleanliness is appalling—it’s truly filthy.The staff, who are supposed to be responsible for the well-being of the clients, often fail to do their jobs. The nursing staff, in particular, are very rude and dismissive toward clients, which only adds to the feeling of neglect and disrespect. There’s a lot of unfair treatment happening, and conflicts between employees and teams are common, which only creates more chaos.The scheduling is another major issue. They don’t seem to know how to assign the right people at the right times, which leads to a lack of supervision and security. Drugs are constantly being found on the floors, yet nothing is being done about it.Worse yet, there have been multiple deaths at the facility due to poor security. This is an incredibly serious issue that needs immediate attention. Sacred Heart needs to address these problems if they want to provide a safe and supportive environment for those in need.
Only reason Im giving 3 stars is because of the food.Ive been there several times with hopes this would be the last.RCT staff always kind and helpful, therapists rock! Nursing on the other hand, is the thorn in that facilitys side, need to be more competent knowing we are sick and not in the best of moods. some were so rude I felt like I was a jail medical facility! The facility this time was somewhat cleaner then the last time however this is the first time I experienced, BEDBUGS! Infested! especially the detox area. All the rooms had chairs thrown about like a day care center! The chapel was disgracefully looking with chairs all over the place. I wish Scared Heart was like it was before covid. More structured, IE, no hats in the building, no hoodies, no short shorts, or stretchy pants that you can see the underwear, that is a place to get better, not a dating hotspot fashion show. having said all this, if you go... be prepared to not get what you need.
While Sacred Heart offers important services, there are serious issues that need addressing. The facility is often filthy, and clients sometimes feel that their needs aren’t being met properly. On top of that, staff safety is a major concern. When clients threaten employees, they are often allowed to remain in the program to complete it, which creates an unsafe environment for staff. It feels like the organization prioritizes the clients’ completion over ensuring both a clean facility and the safety of employees. A well-functioning program should address both client needs and employee protection. Additionally, Id like to mention the numerous relationships between staff and clients, both within and beyond the facility.
As I was being admitted the nurse took my answer to the are you suicidal question the wrong way. Suddenly by police force I’m being taken in an ambulance to Henry Ford psychiatric unit strapped down! Sacred heart employees told me I’d be gone an hour or two. It was 18 hours where I awoke with an IV.! I was then kicked out of the hospital in 48’F weather wearing a T shirt and shorts carrying a 75lb suitcase! Security kicked me off the property! The first call to sacred heart they told me I wasn’t fully admitted and to get a ride 2.5 hours home was my own problem! Then the head nurse called me scrambling that she got me a cab I had to wait an hour for at the bus stop. Once home they told me I had to wait for the report from the doctor at the hospital. FFWD 3 days later they said I had to wait 30 days and be stable on psychiatric medication before I could come back. I wasn’t given not take any psychiatric medication. This whole incident was VERY fn traumatizing to say the least. All I wanted was to stop using drugs and they put me in a psychiatric unit where as a diabetic I wasn’t fed or even given anything to drink! I was knocked out and forcefully given an IV without my consent. Upon release I was given no paperwork or discharge paperwork!!
Great place to go to get yourself straightened out. Most the negative comments are people that were kicked out for using, fratenizing, or they just didnt wanna be there. Most people that have good experiences arent as inclined to review a place on here, its mostly ex clients that have a grudge. Thats why I wrote this.. If you need help get it, its a good place. Dont let that discourage you. Decent food, therapy, you can smoke, baseball field, gym, music room, and they do have cleaners everyday.... its rehab, your living with other messy addicts, its not a vacation retreat idk what else youd expect...
My sister is currently in this facility. She has medical issues. We did everything the rehab asked for, getting medical clearance from hospitals and her primary care doctor so she could attend this rehab. They approved her for 30 days shortly after arriving. Then the medical director decided she wasn’t medically fit to attend. Which is fine, but the reasoning is discrimination of disability. My sister has a j tube, she has to put medicine into a tube at her abdomen. A medical professional there says she can’t raise her shirt, to access her feeding tube, to give meds because it’s disrupting. I asked if she can just go into a closed room to take her meds in front of medical, she told me she doesn’t have time for that. She said my sister keeps asking to nap, and not participate. Her therapist team said she has been doing great and participating. The medical professional called the therapist team and called my sister “ a skinny little twig”. Which my sister overheard on the phone call. I get being concerned for her medical conditions, but we got doctor clearance from 2 different facilities like sacred heart asked. Discrimination shouldn’t be tolerated in a facility where people are trying to get treatment and therapy. My sister has no stomach, and has severe trauma from it. She can’t eat, she can’t drink, she can’t take meds orally. To treat someone with severe medical trauma this way is uncalled for. I will be reaching out to legal team for the discrimination of disability. She loves the rest of the staff there that has advocated for her. It’s sad that she was treated like this. Medically challenging or not, you don’t say that to someone with severe trauma. She’s fought hard to put on weight, she only eats formula. Everyone deserves compassion, do better.
I highly recommend this place It was amazing. Dont have enough words to convey how compassionate and caring the staff and everyone involved. Thank you sacred heart
This is a great place for recovery, but its loaded with BED BUGS. They refuse to heat treat the building. Also, there are heat treating machines other rehabs use on individuals clothing when they first enter the building (along with medicated showers) that are an amazing deterrent for these types of situations. None of this is done, though. They continue to call exterminators to spray but wont take the preventative measures necessary in order to prevent further infestations. It is sad because this is one of the best rehabs in the state compared to many others. Im talking about rehabs that are funded by state insurance and that individuals who dont have money go to. This is one of the best. Just wish they would fix this situation. I hope I dont get put on the Do Not Return list for this post. Im not immune to relapse, though, and Id hate to be barred from treatment in the future should it be necessary. Someone had to sound the alarm, though.
This place is a working miracle. Me and my son come here march 13,2024 It was the best thing ever happened to us. They really care about your treatment and the staff that works there are amazing really all of them. Especially afternoon shift RAs. Im clean after leaving here two months later. ..place is very nice for children as well. Ezekiel and Danni wanted to tell you guys thank you for help
Very rude and hostile employees.Punishes without incident or reason.I seen this with my own eyes. This is not a healthy or safe space for anyone in here.
Unorganized was my first impression walking through the door and then it got much worse. The staff was not friendly in their greeting, no welcomes or smiles. It was like my son was being placed in a jail!Patients were wandering all around and trying to get by us to the door to have a cigarette. This was the main entrance.Three hours later our son called us and told us he was afraid for his safety. A doctor had spoken with him and told him he did not belong at that facility and wrote out a couple options for him.We went and picked him up(he was leaving whether we came or not).He was traumatized by the experience and it was a week before we could find a good fit for him.We are not rich people but we are cash paying where he is right now and the staff is wonderful! He is on his way to a sober life..
My family and I are very grateful for people here. Theyre professional yet familiar and compassionate. I one hundred percent recommend this rehabilitation center.
I really like this place.. i went in on Jan 7 2024 at only 18 yo old. it was stressful for me but only bc i was the youngest one there at the time. but i made my way thru and found my footing there and it was fine. the didactic and group sessions were great and u really do learn a lot from them if you take notes and listen. the interaction with the men and women was just fine some days were better than others but over all this was a great place for me. the food was okay , they kept us on a good and busy schedule so it wasn’t anything like a jail or anything, but this place only works if you want it to, not because you’re forced to go. if down the line i get back into active addiction i will definitely be going back here
I walked into treatment for the first time in my life at 32 years old…it was the best decision of my life. Don’t believe the other reviews this place was amazing food was ok and the staff are great nurses were very nice they help you along the way to recovery. There are activities pool, ping pong, arts and crafts guitars pianos drum sets painting etc so many things to do to keep you motivated. Recovery is not a singular event it’s a process and you have to want it. Yes you have a lot of group sessions and lectures, people hate it. But it teaches you ways to overcome addiction if your focused on recovery. They don’t just put paperwork in front of you all day. They put you in a environment to where u can learn about addiction and give you the tools and foundation to build your self up after you leave. There is not a single bad thing I can say about this facility. You can interact with the men and woman there and learn from each other. Addiction is something you have to LEARN how to beat. They WONT do it for you. But they will teach you how if you actually take notes and listen. If you plan on going here Please take notes (actually write it down) everyday and learn like I did. Thank you sacred heart you saved my life.
On December 28, 2020 I walked into sacred heart with my one year old daughter.I was more scared than I ever have been in my life.I knew that was it, if I didn’t walk through those doors I was going to either die or go to prison. My daughter loved it from the second we arrived…of course she realized quickly she finally had my undivided attention for probably the first time ever.I wanted to run away from there the first few days but I couldn’t make that an option. I obviously stayed and am so proud to say that place, the staff, the programs, and my willingness to learn and get through it saved my life. I not only have my daughter but I got my son back that I had given guardianship of to my sister.I work hard at my job and am alive! Thank you so much to the staff and everyone for believing in me and helping me with my little girl while there.I would recommend this place to anyone that is serious about getting sober and making it.I honestly miss it sometimes. December 28th this year will be 3 years sober for me! Thank you sacred heart and my mama, god bless her soul, she was my biggest supporter next to sacred heart until she passed this past November. To whoever needs this..I have faith in you and don’t give up. You got this!
I’d give it a 5 in terms of for normal people… not passages Malibu or anything like that 😆 nice set up and I enjoyed myself and relations I made here though I never stayed in contact. I had been here twice, once for just Detox & then I left & another for Residential and did not need detox that time. Staff was helpful and sincere food wasn’t terrible I did not stay clean either time either time I stayed, I have not been here in a solid 6 years or so. I have over 2 years clean currently which is best I ever had so don’t quit quitting. Googled this place so to see the distance and maybe come for an H&I meeting.
Love everything about this very spiritual life changing place! The help, and tools, will change your life!
Drove an hour and a half to get here through traffic. They wouldn’t wait long enough for me to be able to pee before rescheduling me for a week later. I’m a violent drunk. Hopefully I’m not dead in a week. Seems like receptionist for admissions was very uncaring. I came with all my thing and you couldn’t wait about her 30 mins when I’m going to be here over 30 days? Waste of time. I heard one guy say he’s been there eight times. Sounds like ineffective treatment as well. Calling other facilities today to hopefully get in somewhere. I need help.
I really felt comfortable here. I was welcomed with open arms. Some of the counselors are a little forgetful and maybe to absent minded to handle so many patients. If you want to get clean here... You will. Love almost every worker there!!
Best rehab hands down. The whole Ora of this place is magical. I went in to detox and 14 days residential. Detox is not that great because the facility is a little dated it was built back in late 60’s early 70’s but they’ve done the best they can in my opinion. When I moved into residential it blew my mind. The program and spirituality this place provides is so humbling it’s crazy. If you want to get clean and stay clean this place will provide you with every tool you need. You just got to want it. You go in here with a bad attitude your gonna get bad results. You get out what you put in. Overall best place on earth for recovery. Only negative is they are a little enforcing on dress code with no hats or hoods which they only do for security precautions even though it should be about the recovery I still understand still love this place. Highly recommend.
Be careful who you leave in here. My mom has a history of seizures and even though she had my sister as an emergency contact, she was not notified when they took her by ambulance to the emergency room. You can understand my familys concern as she has a history of seizures and no one knew she was even there until she called us from her hospital room hours later.
This is the worst rehab Ive ever been to. Since January of 2022 my fiance and I have been trying to get into this rehab because it would allow her to take the baby with her. Long story short they had sent us home one time because one of us had a runny nose, mind you they made us stand outside forever in the cold before we could come in but that was a covid symptom so we had to go home and wait till we were 10 days free of any covid symptoms. Then it took almost 2 months for them to get us back in. So we finally go February 28th 2022 qnd they said I wasnt allowed there without my psych medicine. Mind you I havent been on any meds in about a year but because I was on meds before when I came to this rehab they said I have to be on them. So because we all rode in the same car we went back home which is a 2 hour drive one way. Get my meds and go back the next day March 1st. Finally time to get clean. Nope. The nurse tried to tell me that I was on a medication that Ive never even been on before in my life last time I was there and because I didnt bring this medication because Ive never been on it they said Im not taking my recovery seriously. So me qnd my lady decide she will stay and the rehab will just drive me back home so she dont get stranded there with the baby qnd no car. Since Im not allowed to be Now Im in a van with an employee and I asked him nicely if we could stop so I could use q restroom he refused. I brushed it off qnd asked again in about another hour of our ride. He said no AGAIN. It took me calling him a name for him to finally stop to let me go. The place is very unprofessional very dirty. They will pick and chose who they want there and who not. The place doesnt even deserve a reputation after the complete disrespect and disregard of trying to help myself and family correctly. I will never ever refer someone to them again. If you want a beautiful rehab to go to with the most respect and very clean. Call bear river because sacred heart dont care about anyone. They only care about a pay check
I am highly disgusted with this facility!!I have a friend that has needed rehab for several years. We as friends & family have begged and pleaded for him to get the help he needs & deserves!!Finally after many years of begging and long restless nights , he decided to commit himself into this UNgodly facility. He has only been there for one night (after they cleared him and was tested neg at the hospital) & they kick him out to the wolves. They say hes positive for covid, he has no symptoms- yet they still released him. Im curious as to why, they cant isolate him for the 5 required days and still follow through with his treatment. They offered this kid no help with housing, food, NOTHING!! Literally kicked him on the streets with nowhere to go & nowhere to turn!! Do they not realize, the streets is the worst place an addict needs to be? Of course they know.. they simply dont care!!They use the name Sacret Heart .. that doesnt seem Christian based to me!I highly recommend if you are looking for help for yourself or a family member/ friend... look for a place thats more replicable
July 7th 2014 was my dolphin humility date. Ive been clean and sober as could possibly be for 8 and a 1/2 years. A woman named Rita prayed for Me. It was a divine place it was a place to connect with God Yahweh adonai With the A Intention to work hard. I went through the 9 steps and 21 days and I was prepared to do steps 1011 and 12 daily and weekly as needed. Step 10 continue to take moral inventory judge myself God says step 11 sought through prayer meditation which is meditate on the book of wisdom instruction The Bible the scriptures Caesar says I am the word of God its life changing power Powerful word when you obey it meditate all day-and-night blessed to is that person that does this and stepped 12 is the 2nd greatest commandment love your neighbor help people each week we are volunteers in our local Monroe County jail and our local Salvation Army rehab hospital. This is Fruit judge a tree by its fruit what is the fruit coming from each person selfishness with their time money gasoline what is the fruit we love God 1st and then we love people and help people . God released me and my wife from dope Flynn junkie lunch styles and we have a duty an obligation to show Jesus our gratitude by helping other people get to rehab Stay clean get clean stay clean ceasar to stay clean and sober than it is to get clean and sober This place is divinely connected to God
My sister is currently staying at a recovery house run by Sacred Heart. It is in Port Huron which is a ways away from me and her family. She has been clean for just over one year. She has a job, pays her bills and is really doing well but it has much more to do with her own desire and will than any real help that she has gotten from Sacred Heart. My sister has repeatedly expressed concern that the therapy she has access to is not adequate. Today, she called me and told me that yesterday she was told verbally by the woman, Tracey, that runs the house, that all 4 girls living in the house are being kicked out and have 30 days to get out because the girls are not getting along with each other. What! My sister said there was no warning, no discussion, no second chance - nothing. I cant imagine what logic or reason there could possibly be for throwing 4 woman, that are vulnerable, recovering from addiction and trying to get their lives together, out on the streets (truth, since not all of them have somewhere to go) in the middle of one of the coldest winters on record. And this is what my tax dollars pay for - under a name like Sacred Heart. Its shameful.
It was a great way to get off methadone and not have to leave my daughter. The staff is great and very understanding. Amanda and Ally are GOAT.I wish they allowed the women with children to participate in more activities like volleyball, and that they had codependency classes. They also need to have a relaxation hour where daycare is available.They treated my child AMAZINGLY.
Admitting that drugs or alcohol has a grip on me was tough. Admitting that i needed help was humbling and much needed! Theres no such thing as perfection in recovery or life for that matter, but I am a grateful recovering addict today! Gos bless the people going into this rehab! Its a phenomenal place if you utilize all of its resources. The staff is absolutely amazing and I met life long friends here! Ask for help, reach out and do all you can to hold tight to everything you learn here!
I cannot say ENOUGH about how great Sacred Heart Residential Treatment Center is!!! If you or someone you love wants or needs help for addiction, this is the place to go. You get ALL of the information and tools you will need to get sober and live in recovery. Take notes and ask questions during lectures. Get involved during group therapy sessions and share your past experiences with fellow clients here. The staff is amazing! To mention a few, I am thankful for the experience, strength and hope shared by Ed, Larry, Gary, Michelle, Kim and Sean. Just left S.H. on Halloween 2019. I am looking forward to living in recovery, using everything Ive learned. Thanks again, Sacred Heart!!!!
I was there in the very beginning of February 2021. Only stayed six days but while I was in detox I was bitten by bed bugs. I reported it to the staff which they took all of my stuff and washed it and moved me to a new clean room which I still was bitten up. But my favorite jacket was never returned to me which was highly upsetting as well. It’s an ok place but I’ll never go back there. I’m over four months clean today tho so #WeDoRecover!
I entered this facility in Nov 2006 for 4 days of detox after kicking for 7 days prior. There was some miscommunication & its possible I didnt need detox, but it was a smooth process.I shared a room with a nice older woman, my vitals were constantly monitored, the detox ward is dated but clean. It was a relief I was not held to a rigorous schedule, was allowed smoke breaks, and staff was very nice and helpful. I was very underweight & Ensure was specially ordered for me.Sacred Heart provided transportation to the local womens inpatient center I finished my treatment at.Ive been clean since, thank you Sacred Heart.
My experience was terrible. I took a friend there to drop her off and they said she was an hour late so they would not take her until the next day, and we had driven 2 hours to get there. They could not have cared less.In fact they appeared to take pleasure in turning us away. No one told us you had to be there at a specific time. So she went back the following day, and after 12 hours they refused to give her medication for detoxing, she was very angry, so they kicked her out. They just dont care, they know theyre getting funds from the state, there will be another person along in a minute. I would not recommend this place.
This place has got to be the worse. Its dirty and very unprofessional, they def pick favors and do not make sure your needs are met, I do not smoke but they sure do cater to the smokers, making sure they get their smoke breaks.The residents are in charge of cooking meals, they rotate the chore schedule ,I noticed most never washed their hands or covered their mouths while preparing meals for close to 15 to 20 people . Thats just not acceptable.. this is why everyone gets sick and it keeps getting passed around. I left after 11 days and went to A much better place called Maple Grove. I would not recommend this place to anyone..
I owe a big part of my recovery and a big thank you to sacred heart and Clearview. I am reading a lot of the negative reviews and frankly, they all sound like typical addicts complaining about nothing and placing blame on everything and everyone else, instead of looking at the bigger picture. The staff is amazing. Every last one of them. They really do care about you. And yes, they do have rules which are for a good reason: the clients safety and recovery. Obviously, we werent following any rules, or living right, otherwise we wouldnt have ended up there. So thanks again to sacred heart and Clearview for caring enough to show me not only a sober way of living, but also for giving me the tools to live right and stay sober.
To clarify, I was at the womens Clearview Facility. This place was awful!!! They neglected my work paperwork and I almost lost my job while I was at this facility. I didnt even get a pillow for the first three days. I was only allowed three days to detox then was expected to attend class, do yoga, cook meals for all the patients, clean, and do other chores when I could barely get out of bed. The facility was very dirty, old, and run-down. We were locked inside all day everyday unless you smoke and I do not. Also, they woud lock the smoking door as a punshment for everything. It felt more like a jail then a rehabilitation program. A very rude and aggressive staff member named Myrna came into my room, ripped the blankets off of me and told me that if I didnt go to class, I was refusing treatment and I had to leave. I ended up leaving that day and I am glad I did. I found an AMAZING facility in North Carolina called Asheville Recovery that was a breath of fresh air compared to Sacred Heart. The staff was amazing, we got taken out to eat, we did activities every weekend, got taken to outside meetings everyday, got to grocery shop for ourselves, had a bonfire meeting once a week, could go to church if we wanted, could go to the gym every week. The facility was very nice and clean and I completed the program with no problems.
I love this place. If you REALLY wanna get clean they give you all the tools you need. All while providing a pretty comfortable detox. After being clean almost 3yrs the last time I left sacred heart. I had a relapse. Ran back to sacred heart and they saved my life now for a second time! Looking forward to another 3 or hopefully 33 years of sobriety!
One would think with all those therapist, they would communicate better! Instead I’m met with a therapist who believes she is god, and does not need to communicate with myself or the courts! I am going to the BBB! This is supposed to be a supportive place for people to go when they want help! They are supposed to help!! The staff stole $50 while checking in, never in my life have I ever come across so many dishonest, unprofessional, and disrespectful people!
Staff is very friendly but the place is disgusting. My plan was to go for detox only and start intensive outpatient. I have been drinking for close to 20 years. I was told Id be there 3-5 days. Intake took 4 hours. The nurse at intake said Id be there for the full 5 days. Told everyone I talked to I was doing detox only and wanted to be set up with IOP . The last person I saw was a counselor /someone who contacts insurance co . he told me he would set up iop when I left his office.Well I was there for 24 hours when they informed me I was going home the next morning(I havent even been there for 48 hrs)They said Im doing so well(no withdraw symptoms) I didnt need to be there. But if I wasnt ready to leave they could move me to residential 👍 . when I was discharged no iop set up nothing no scripts to help me get threw withdrawels. 2 days and Im outta there. I would never go back there.Some say this place works. But I talked to several people outside smoking(cuz thats basically all you can do in detox) several had been there multiple times. 2 people Im particular, one 5 times, another 8.
Worst experience I ever had. I went through detox in Toledo Oh after the Death of my Dad. I got into drugs to ease the pain and had to goto treatment to get off of the Narcotics I was on, that was a good experience. 6 years later I had to go into rehab for Benzo addiction. I checked myself in and was told that this was a great facility. Well, they are not only understaffed but the staff that is there are more concerned about what you are wearing then your recovery. The last place I was at it didnt matter if you wore a hat, sweats...etc...because you were there to get better, the focus, as it should have been, was on your RECOVERY. That is NOT the case here. I actually had one of the workers there, who was one of the higher ranking employees, after asking him what WAS MORE IMPORTANT, ME WEARING A HAT OR MY RECOVERY...TO THIS HE ACTUALLY paused to think about it...NO THINKING, THE clear ANSWER IS my recovery...NOW, TO BE FAIR MOST PEOPLE THERE WERE GOOD AND HAD A WILLINGNESS TO REALLY HELP, but allot of them were more focused on things that had absolutely NOTHING to do with my recovery. The first one I went to DID care about it, and could care less if I wore sweats or a hat all day long, just as long as I got better, which is the mindset that all recovery centers should have. And, just for the record, the 12 step program was set up by Christians...yes, the people there had no clue of that...unbelievable!!! No, the program no longer hinges on Christian beliefs but rather the belief in a GOD or higher power, but that was not what I asked and was told flat out, that the program had NOTHING to do with faith...again, UNBELIEVABLE...if you are looking for a good recovery program, look elsewhere, unless that type of stuff, such as hypocrisy, doesnt bother you, then go sign up now!!
I love sacred heart. Theyve gotten my life back on track more than once. I am going back thursday for detox and residential... Theres no other place id go. And the place is not disgusting it is clean and full of amazing staff that knows what you are going through. Lots of support and always made sure i had a home to go to. These guys are awesome.
I dont understand all of the comments about the staff being rudeThe staff here is amazing: Larry, Gary, Ed, Rick, Charlie, etc etc etc! This place has saved my life, but youve got act right- pay attention to the didactics- dont allow the distractions from those who arent serious about their recovery detract from the immense knowledge, compassion and care that abound here . I appreciate the spiritual services offered, the food, everything. There are much worse places to try to get sober. A grateful alcoholic is a sober alcoholic
I went to Sacred heart 8 years ago and had an AMAZING experience. When I got home I immediately immersed myself in a 12 step program. I attended daily meetings and found a sponsor right away. Working the steps changed my life in the most incredible ways. I am a recovering alcoholic AND an addict who was willing to go to ANY LENGTHS for a better life. Rehab is just the beginning of anyones recovery. You need practice the principles in your life every day - one day at a time. I have been clean and sober since August 10th 2011 and it was my time at Sacred heart that got the wheels in motion. My 22 year old daughter is entering Sacred Heart in 2 days from today and I pray she will have the same willingness as I did.
I was at my lowest point I could have been without death, and was set free from myself due to Sacred Heart! They showed me myself and helped my understand my addiction. Everyone their was a major part in my Sobriety. I always asked questions and was always given expert advise. From the Techs all the way up to the Counselors they were a big helping hand. I dont ever plan on going back as a patient, but will definitely go back to help carry the message! Thank you Sacred Heart!!!
Horrible experience. 2 staff members accused me of trying to sleep with a male for a cigarette which wasnt the truth. Then, they had me send to a psychiatric ward then back over to them while I was withdwaling from a shot of Ativan and then my therapist and them made an agreement that I had to go into only womens care which I agreed too.. the only reason I didnt complete the program for my probation was because Heitmanis Law took off with my cigarette money gift card while my parents were vacationing up north.. And I have psychiatric issues as well so I feel like this was a corrupt mental and harassment issue. On top of that I am legally blind and I had no glasses on and they gave me a big sister who didnt help me at all. Going there is the biggest mistake I made. I also have seizures and take medicine and since I didnt get to the medicine line fast enough they wouldnt give me my medicine because I couldnt see the clocks and I almost seized up.
When I was in this faucility, everyone including myself was sick... thinking it was just a cold. I got out of the faucility and went to the doctor to find out that I had a sinus infection. It has now turned into pneumonia and blood work is coming back abnormal for other infections like in my joints that I dont have specific information about yet. I am not blaming this place for getting me sick but they did not take our sickness seriously and most doctors would NOT see you and if they did they would NOT give you antibiotics. To top it off, I called the nursing office explaining this and she says thats what goes around this type of year. Bye in a very rude tone to the point where I was extremely surprised. She would literally not giving me a chance to further explain but I will not be returning here due to the mistreatment from the nurses and sanitary issues. Thanks for reading.
I love everyone at Sacred Heart. The RCTs are mostly all in recovery and from the time you walk in you feel a sense of understanding and compassion. The therapists are mostly all in recovery as well and you dont feel judged. Everyone just gets it. And they focus on getting you where you need to be to move forward into recovery and know that you are not alone.Also I love the chapel; its been said that its the Holiest place in Michigan and miracles happen there. I believe that whole heartedly❤️
Deplorable, disgraceful and horrible medical treatment. My recent experience at their facility was so bad that it has prompted me to write this in hopes that others seeking care for addiction can be aware of my case. I was seeking medical detox and residential rehabilitation for alcoholism. After waiting patiently the 2 weeks on the waiting list for my appointment I came in and went through the admissions intake process. After my intake I was admitted to the detox ward so that I could be safely and compassionately cared for knowing that I was going to go through severe withdrawals. In my initial contact with the admissions staff before making my appointment I was assured that I would be given Atavan to alleviate my withdrawal symptoms and risk of seizures. During the 3 days of hell going through these withdrawals I was given nothing except my own blood pressure meds and a vitamin (folic acid, I think). While practically begging for something for my shakes and panic I was told that I would not be getting anything until I looked bad enough to need it. I basically spent the time trembling on my bed feeling like I was going to jump out of my skin while presenting near crisis level blood pressure vital signs. At no time did I see a Dr. or Physicians Assistant. The only thing different from my medical care at SHRC and alcohol withdrawal treatment from the 1930s is that they didnt strap me to the bed. I was also forced to go through Neurontin withdrawals although I had my Dr. fax over my prescription documentation even though I had been repeatedly told by admissions staff (Theresa) that my Neurontin would be administered during my stay at SHRC. At the time I arrived at the facility I had been drinking over a liter of vodka every day on and off for years. I have been through a few rehabs in my life - some good and some not so good. I finally had to beg to use the phone and call my wife to come and rescue me since I began to believe that I was going to suffer a life threatening seizure or heart attack. I can say without a doubt in my mind that I have never even heard of such a compassionless and dangerous rehab experience in my life. I found it interesting that the care given to those suffering from opioid addiction were treated completely differently for their withdrawals. The place was handing them out doses of suboxone or something like that with no question for the opioid addicts. I found after talking some some of the other alcoholic clients that their experience concurred with my own. Truly a sad and demoralizing experience at this facility that I am still recovering from. Shame on you SHRC!
So many negative reviews. Sorry the place didnt work for you guys. I was there almost 5 years ago for my 5th time. Its what you make it there. I find it hard to believe most of these people didnt get medical treatment. Because thats a lie. They make sure their people are taken care of. Its clean. If you people have such high standards go to california and use the funding here for people who need it. Use your own money to pay for it then. Im on medicaid and can still afford to by any kind of clothing. Medicaid is for everybody. I work and still need Medicaid. Goodness people can be so rude.Ive been clean 5 years, coming March 13th of 2019.
Ive been a few times. Each and everytime the staff was amazing...food was fabulous and the information and care was 2nd to none. If your DONE...and openminded and willing to participate in your own recovery....the tools and leaders are available to those whom wish to harvest the good stuff!!!
Worst facility Ive ever been to, dirty, outdated with inmate like treatment. medications being withheld, unsafe detox. ask an rtc any question or for guidance and theyll treat you as if you are retarded. favorites are definitely played and its sad because those who get attention (sure to be fed, medicated, given the basics such as bedding and towels to shower) do so because theyve been there 5+ times over a 6 month period. too many patients housed to be properly monitored. smoking wings and phone calls are threatened if you dont do THEIR work which they are employed to do such as cleaning the kitchen, mopping the floors, vacuming, etc.
I just left today after completing 13 days and WOW.The Richmond S.H.R was incredible. I feel like they have changed my life and helped me be able to start over in some ways. The staff all touched my heart in different way & also being in recovery themselves; made it all the more real that this works if you want it too. Thank you soo much especially to Aly, Alicia, Barb, Ms. Vi, Ed, Sean, & Lisa for inspiring me with your stories and lessons that really hut my heart. I will forever remember my time at S.H.R as a blessing.
Such unprofessional nursing staff. They always like to single out at least one person in detox, the person that needs help the most. If you have Medicaid dont go here!
The staff treat you like they are above you (RTC). The nursing is HORRENDOUS! I was there for weeks and complained about my ear, they told me to drink more water. A few days later I was released, went to a walk in clinic and was diagnosed with a severe ear infection. The medical staff is HORRIBLE. They have CNA’s acting as nurses. I only stayed because my counselor was the only legit reason to stay.
Therapist and classes were great but there was something desperately wrong with the physical health of the clients. During my stay I contracted a virus that has a reputation in the facility as the Sacred Heart Crud. Im just guessing but Im sure at least half of the population in the rehab contracted the illness. It was ridiculous how many ppl eventually got sick (not dope sick BTW) when trying to get better. It made my stay a bit worse then it would have been. I ended up just leaving after being sick for 11 days and it was just getting worse. They dont really offer much for cold or flu symptoms except cough drops that dont really help. I ended up leaving a day early cuz it got so bad. The place is OK rehab but like I was saying theres something wrong with the the amount of ppl who got sick while I was there and I thought maybe its because of the winter season it was so bad but then I learned its like that all year around. So take care and wash ur hands. Recovery is what u make of it.
Sacred heart is a blessing to me and my family. The staff truly cares and wants to help. Recovery is what you make it. Stay away from negative people who dont want to be there. Special shout out to Charlie, Rick, Sean, and Micheal L. Without you guys my recovery wouldnt be what it is . Thank you so much!
Staff is extremely rude. Which makes no sense considering most of them are recovering addicts. Place is disgusting and very out dated. At the end of the day this is a business and it is just a low paying job to most of the staff. They claim to be one of the best in the state but I do not agree.
This place went above and beyond trying so hard to lead me in the right direction, but unfortunately I was 18 and not in the right state of mind to see the beautiful opportunity that was given to me. Sacred heart staff is nearly 70% recovering addicts and I believe from the last time I was there which was roughly 6 years ago all the counselors has dealt with addiction either personally or through family mensmbers so they know there stuff and the atmosphere alone there is truly grounding and the church that’s within the facility is where most of my days were spent between class’s and meeting so don’t let the pain go on and call up there and ask for Tim and see for yourself the truly amazing customer service and true hearted individuals whom work there for yourself!
The staff and all their help are very nice and helpful. I would reckomend Sacred Heart to anyone whos having a problem with any addiction. One of the great things is how they include the family which is very important for a addict/alcoholic to know someone is on their side. Thumbs up Sacred Heart!
The intake lady is rude and unprofessional. She decided smoking her cigarette was more important than giving me and my loved one the attention and care we deserve and paid for. Very unprofessional.
This facility sent some other unknown patients personal information to the wrong address with sensitive information that is now in the wrong hands.Private medical information, addresses, meds, & other numbers & pieces of information...Employees argue about personal topics at inappropriately loud volumes in the hallways where patients can hear making patients feel uncomfortable having to then trust these arguing, angry, unprofessional employees with their treatment, how uneasy does that make YOU feel?Not professional.Not a recommended facility, how very unfortunate.Very disappointing, patients come for help & there are not millions of other options of facilities for patients to choose instead as their first choice.0 stars, not one... that star is only there because you have to put one star for the post button to work, just to clarify to those who dont understand & might argue in the hallways some more about it.
I went to treatment 3X before finding sacred heart. I got there on 9/2/05 with a $200 a day heroin habbit. 8 YEARS, & MANY MEETINGS LATER I THANK GOD IM STILL CLEAN. Shut up, listen, pray, its easier than you think! Keep life simple, no drama, DONT PIC-UP. the rest is alllllll gravy baby!!! Im EDITING THIS BECAUSE ON 9/2/2016 ILL CELEBRATE 11YRS CLEAN IT CAN BE DONE!!!
Took a few times but my family got involved. After that I was good!Could have been much worse!! ✌️💜
I went there with awesome intentions to get off opiates... I had an abscess in the crease of my forearm (elbow area) the nurses didn’t take it serious.. couple days later I was severely sick because of the abscess.. I was vomiting non stop.. went to tell the nurses and they told me I had to prove to them I was puking.. had to wait till I felt like I was gonna puke and give then a cup of vomit!!! They gave me a bed rest note.. sickness got worse and I demanded to see he doc. He took my vitals and I had a fever 105!!!! I was seizing and basically dying. I went into septic shock. I had a blood infection.. I grew abscesses in both of my lungs and I had infections going into my heart valves. Hospital said if I didn’t go that night I would have died in a couple hours!!!
So I would have to say sacred heart is a good facility but clear view does suck I don’t recommend clear view at all but also the place in port Huron by them is not a very nice place either I highly recommend that you have a plan when you go into rehab just saying
Clearview was the best I honestly got the best support and care by the girls there especially Karri, Kathy, and Alaina and Rachel ... Thank you so much for the support
Great place to be when youre in recovery, They supply you with many resources especially,if youre homeless, Thank you Secured Hart for another chance to live a healthy functional life
I needed documentation showing I was at rehab bc it was court ordered, and they would not give me papers. So I ended up in jail even though I attended. Also they do not accommodate for those with mental illness at all. The counselor was rude.
I like it alot going back for my second time an wouldnt go an
Clean and friendly noligable staff. If you have those 2 things, you pretty much have everything.
Sacred Heart helped me come off of 15 years of methadone.Words can not describe how thankfull I am for the top notch level of care they provided for me!Anyone who has substance abuse issues do not hesitate to chose Sacred Heart to get your life back.Thank you Tom,Chris,Charlie,and Sean for the invaluable skills and care you provided for me.
I was here in 1991, and through the grace of God and the tools , i have been clean 25 years. My counselor was alice mickie walsh, Mike, Bill kellogg , wondering where they are.
Had to make a change glad I went ....love the staff and the over all experience.....shout out to group #8 keep your head up much love.....
I do out patient methadone rehabilitation and it is one if the better places to go. They are very lax when it comes to group. Dont want to go to groups? Then dont! 🤣✌👍
Its like my home away from home.. When I relapse I always choose to go back there cause the staff is excellent, theres a lot of good people there, u learn a lot, I know the place so well!!
They do a great job and are very respectful and patient. everyone that I have talked to had nothing but good things to say. hey Ed, and greg, keep doing what yall do. and a very special shout out to ms. annett.
This place is terrible and so is the weekend staff. How can they truly assist those seeking treatment effectively when they are so rude and condensing. Strongly advise to seek help somewhere else. These are not caring folks.
The worst rehab ever! I once knew a lady and she had a guy sneak them away with liquor into the woods how insane? This place has more drama and corruption then the people
This place is wonderful I went to the woman and childrens wing and they are very helpful and get u on a a schedule thats good for you you have about 3 to 4 days of detox then you go to residential and they take medicade
Hardest 30+days even harder 14 years but the best decision EVER... Rocking life DAY BY DAY
Was there around 2010 was older and not the cleanest but they tried to help and i wasnt ready Ive been to many plush places since where its all about the money I would say if your seriously quitting this will work and cheaper for sure most places $1000+ a day
Its a great place to grow and learn some independence. Its also nice to be around other women and be able to learn what healthy boundaries are too.
This place was infested with bed bugs during my stay there. Gross
I was there in August of 2017 and hate that place the therapist dont really care whats going on about you the staff is horrible place is nasty and everyone fights with one another wirst place ever choose a better rehab Im sure there out there just dont choose this one you will regret it trust me 😉.
Awesome place get help here if you need it and want it
Best food. Great speakers beds suck but I’ve been to them all and this I’d the best by far
Very friendly the ladys are super nice
Many issues with that facility.
I know a friend who is there and doing good!!! I think its a good place for people who need help in getting their lifes back on track!!!
This place is NOT a medical facility. I was even told that by staff. It is also not safe detox. Too many people and no staff. You could die and I almost did.
Best thing that couldve happened to me and my kids almost 12 years later still clean!!!!! Love staff!!!!
Saved my ljfe
They saved my dads life. He died clean. God bless them and all they do!
Worst staff I have ever encountered. I was not able to contact the family member that was held there either. I would never recommened this place to anyone.
Geared towards Youth who just began. Cold. Uncomfortable facility. Locals work there. Country Bumpkins
Intake was a little long but Im sure its worth the wait. Facility was clean.
This place is not diverse. I advise minorities to avoid this location. Treatment is horrible
